From my heart…

words from Paris 2015

A collection of my poetry written with love for my dear friend, Antonio, who lost his fight with cancer in February… may he rest in peace.

For Antonio….

1.

My heart is
breaking
and my
smile is
fading
you
fought
the hard fight
you fought
with all
you had
I gift you
love
I gift you
peace
it’s been
an honour
to have you
in my
life
I will miss you
to the moon
and back
my darling friend

So
fly free now
with the angels
and show them
how well you dance
with the stars
I’ll be watching
from here…

2.

I will look
for you
as the sun
rises upon
my day and
beckons me to
live, laugh
and love
with joy
I will look
for you
in the beauty
of the birds
that fly free
above me
and offer thanks
to a God
who created them
I will look
for you
in the droplets
of rain that fall
to nourish
and cleanse
our beautiful
earth and
think of you
with love
in my heart
I will look
for you
in the gifting
of a smile
from a stranger
that reaches out
to say hello
I will look
for you
in the spring
when the flowers
bloom with pride
and gift us
beauty
for our day
I will look
for you
in the passing
of time
that noone
can stop
yet still
we yearn
for one more day
with loved
ones passed
I will look for you
I will look for you
everywhere
and smile….

3.

Sit in silence
and let your answer
come from
within

Sit in laughter
and let your smiles
carry you
forward

Sit in sadness
and let your angels
wrap you
in their wings

Sit in darkness
and let your light
brighten your
path

then

Sit in hope
and let your wisdom
show you
the way

whatever the moment
you are never alone…

4.

Don’t fight
the tears
let them fall
let them flow
and seek comfort
where you can
and know
with all
your heart
the angels
have wrapped
him gently
in their wings
and are ready
for his
journey
home…

Penned with love for Antonio’s dear friends, Yvie et Rose…

5.

Let the warmth
of his smile
carry you through
your days

Let the gift of
his words
lighten your
heavy load

Let the memory
of his touch
heal your
broken spirit

Let the glow
from his sunrise
dry your
falling tears

and

Let the courage
of your friend
never be
forgotten…

6.

I miss you
so much
Antonio
and today
I wanted
to tell you
something
funny and
I was going
to write you
but then
I remembered
No
I can’t do that
anymore
and that’s
what I miss
so much about
not having
you here
on the other side
of my computer
to laugh out loud
to the point
of hysterics
where we
would both
be rolling
on the floor
and have
to say
stop
enough
is enough
I can’t breathe
and smile
and joke
with me
and make up
silly names
and silly
games
and tell me
how much
you loved me
this is what
I miss about you…

Forever Paris...

Paris forever!

One of my passions is to travel. However for more than a few years now I seem to have found myself visiting Paris for extended periods of time.. well, make that weeks at least! i know it won't last forever but while it does... I'm going to enjoy every moment!
